HC Deb 15 December 1952 vol 509 cc120-1W
Mr. Driberg

asked the Minister of Transport what decision he has now reached on the future use of the Kingsway tram subway.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

I have now considered the report of the Technical Committee on this question and should like to express my appreciation of the thoroughness with which they have dealt with this difficult problem. After examining various alternatives, the Committee have concluded that if the subway were to be used for traffic the most satisfactory scheme for this would cost about £1,200,000. The likely advantages of this adaptation, or indeed of any other alternative scheme do not seem to me to be commensurate with the cost. I am having a copy of the Committee's report placed in the Library.
